I don't think this is a particularly good take. Inclusivity IS much more important today than it was to people even 10 years ago. The real issue is that being woke is GOOD! It's crazy that people have twisted it around, like shutting our eyes to the world's problems (being "asleep") is somehow the right way to be.

I think both are true. We are more interested in inclusivity today, and that is a good thing! But it's also true that certain currents in our society have reacted to that like an immune system to a foreign body. Things that were benign previously become objects of irritation and anger as one of the 'outsiders' even if it's no different than the long-established and beloved things.

It's honestly insane that gamers are not down with communism, given that the games industry is the prime example of all the failings of capitalism

Fascism is socialism for lazy fools

Love that. Gonna steal that in the future.

Then socialism is fascism, because there are enough lazy fools to make that happen.

This sounds like something a lazy fool would think 🤔
